In today’s competitive retail landscape, engaging customers goes beyond just visual appeal. Multisensory retail design leverages the science of human perception to create immersive environments that captivate shoppers and drive deeper emotional connections with brands.

This webinar delves into the neuroscience and psychology behind multisensory experiences in retail. You’ll gain insights into how 10 groups of senses (yes, we actually have 53 senses) influence consumer behavior, brand perception, and purchasing decisions. We’ll explore case studies, cutting-edge research, and practical applications to help brands and designers craft environments that not only attract but also retain customers through carefully curated sensory experiences.

Our founder and consumer, retail and design psychologist Kate Nightingale will discuss:

  • The role of sensory stimuli in shaping emotions, memory, and decision-making.
  • The latest scientific findings on how multisensory integration impacts customer experience.
  • Real-world examples of brands successfully using sensory design.
  • Practical strategies to implement multisensory principles in retail spaces.
  • Measuring the impact of sensory design on customer engagement and sales.

Whether you’re a retail brand looking to enhance customer loyalty or a designer aiming to create more impactful spaces, this session will provide actionable insights to elevate your retail experience.

‘‘Brain works on the subconscious multisensory consistency across 10 major groups of senses. Strategic presentation of your brand through all senses leads to higher engagement, memorability and increased commercial effectiveness of retail design.’’
